Silver lining, Scoot and Shaedon start together, build chemistry, and we get a look at what that looks like for the future.
and just as importantly we give Brodgon some more run in the next 4-6 weeks to up his value should Joe look to trade him before the deadline for a team in need
I hope not. I've really come around on Brogdon as a significant part of this team and of Scoot's development. I think whatever assets he might bring in trade are less valuable than what he can do to bring our prized rookie along.
yes def off the bench....still more run the better for his value. Im not in the camp of trading Simons on here but he is hurt now and it is what it is and time to look at the positives. Sharpe starting, Brodgon upping his value...
The basketball gods demand Scoot/Shae backcourt. I'd be mad at this but without expectations on this team I feel pretty unaffected.
I'm not against keeping him either. Just looking at the positives in general with Simons out. Brogdon could be like Mo Williams and Earl Watson was to Dame to start his career. Brogdon could still stay with us the whole year and get traded in the offseason while upping his value with the extra run, and giving knowledge to Scoot for one season.
We def need more talent, so that could be via more draft capital in the upcoming years. This team isnt going anywhere soon and Brodgon's value will be a lot lower by time Scoot/Sharpe start to really break out imo. Outside of Scoot, Sharpe, Simons, Ayton, who else really do we need to develop? I would say Sharpe or Simons goes at some point in a couple years, leaving just Ayton and Scoot outside of that. Look at OKC, they just have a team full of youngsters and guys that are starting to break out and they have tons more picks to add more talent or use as a trade chip. They are most likely a playoff team this year. Shai Alexander, Giddy, Chet, Dort, Isaiah Joe, Jalen Williams, and more. They have more talent in general and a super young team as well. We need to get more talent and picks to add to this young timeline is a good thing, not a bad thing.
The life of a Blazer fan my friend. always a silver lining. Time for Sharpe to shine!!! And since i have a Sharpe jersey and not a Simons jersey….
I kept thinking he was out for a large portion of the game and was not on the bench for a while. For fucks sake.
Just start Scoot and Sharpe. Everyone knows you need this to work for the future of the team so why avoid it?
